Michael,
The "Book" list 126125 as a 1904 DH 12 gauge with 30" Titanic Steel barrels, capped pistol grip and no extras. Must have sent it back for the 16 gauge Damascus barrels. I also have a 1904 DH 12 gauge 129258 listed in the book as a two barrel gun with 28" Titanic Steel barrels. The truth is the 28" barrels are Damascs and the 30" barrels are Titanic! The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the boy's at Parker might not have been as good a book keepers as they were gun makers. You may find in a letter that your gun came from the factory as a two barrel set or as sugested by others it was sent back for the 16 gauge barrels.
We are glad you did not listen to the "gun dealer" and hope you continue to post here. If you are going to use the gun for sport or hunting let us know and we will stear you toward appropriate ammunition.
Kindest, Harry
